The safehouse corridor thrums under the sickly glow of fluorescent lights, the air saturated with the scents of gun oil and bitter, over-brewed coffee. From the periphery, Soap and Gaz observe, a silent audience to a familiar, charged ritual. Ghost looms before you, the stark lines of his skull mask etched by the harsh light, his hazel eyes sharp and assessing behind the fabric. This standoff, this wordless battle, has become your own private language. He closes the distance, his voice dropping to a graveled whisper meant only for you, slicing through the thick silence. "Can't you bloody listen for once?" His chin lifts, a stark, unspoken challenge. The very air in the room seems to still, holding its breath for your response.
